vpn

A shell command for making vpn connections. It's a convenience wrapper around openconnect, in which you set up a configuration file with connection details, then just "vpn up" to connect.

Usage

$ vpn up [site]
$ vpn down
$ vpn reset # if your lan connection glitches

The script will prompt for your vpn password on the site as well as for the sudo password on your machine (if needed).

Installation

Install openconnect. On OS X you can use homebrew:

  $ brew install openconnect

Install the vpn script, by either:

$ gem install vpn

Download the script from here and put it somewhere in your PATH.

Configuration

Create a config file ~/.vpn, which is a YAML file containing one or more "site" entries of the form:

mycompany:
    server:    vpn.mycompany.com
    usergroup: OTP
    user:      mylogin

Each entry must specify a server. All other fields get passed as options to openconnect -- see $ man openconnect to find out what they are. Options that don't take values can be specified using the value true.
